Xantrex is now owned by Schneider, the same company that owns Square D among other. Their tech support is pretty good usually but you are talking about an older product.
There's a really good independent servicing dealer called Tekris Power Electronics, Inc. I would give them a try.
By the way, there's nothing fancy about the connection cable. It is a normal cable, it just has more wires in it than some cheap cables you might find in a hardware store. If you get a cable with all the wires in it (6 I think) it will work fine.

1. Is a 4 wire PHONE cable
2. Is a 4 wire COMMUNICATION cable and the wires are connected in reverse at the ends.
3. There are also 6 wire cables. It depends on which type(4 or 6 wire) you have.
4. BUT, a LOT of people will get a regular modular phone cable and think it is the same wire schematic and it is NOT. Doug
